All - PASIG (Preservation Archiving Special Interest Group) and its events is relevant to the NDSA Infrastructure group, so I am passing this along. Save the Date! PASIG Webinar "Digital Preservation in Theory and Practice", February 12 8:30am PT We are initiating a monthly webinar series in order to share PASIG content and insights beyond the annual meeting (next one scheduled May 22-24 in Washington, DC). The first webinar will be offered by Tom Cramer, Chief Technology Strategist, Stanford University Libraries, on February 12. Tom has consistently been highlighted as one of the top presenters at the PASIG meetings and we feel this content is germane to a broad audience involved in Digital Preservation. Enrollment details for this webinar will be publicized in the next few days. Please Save the Date! -------------- Webinar Name: Digital Preservation in Theory and Practice: A Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group (PASIG) Boot Camp Webinar By: Tom Cramer Chief Technology Strategist Stanford University Libraries Abstract: Over the last two decades, digital preservation has emerged as a critical challenge for institutions looking to provide longterm access to their information assets. This webinar will introduce some of the fundamental needs and concepts that underpin digital preservation, and provide a practical, hands-on survey of the best practices, tools and strategies in preservation that have emerged only quite recently. The content of this webinar comes from the introduction to the "Preservation Bootcamp" developed for and delivered at the international PASIG meetings, a semi-annual exchange of architectures, operations and best practices of digital preservation among practitioners, researchers and industry experts. The PASIG Bootcamp provides an introduction to the field and needs in digital preservation, and give attendees a foundation of concepts, terminology, standards and tools used broadly in the field. This Digital Preservation 101 event is targeted specifically for those looking to gain exposure to the field, or current practitioners looking for a review of the formal concepts or broad set of tools currently in use.
